An 18-day experiment was conducted to investigate the uptake and sublethal toxicity of dietary Ni in adult lake whitefish (LWF, Coregonus clupeaformis) and lake trout (LT, Salvelinus namaycush) fed diets containing 0, 1000 and 10000 microg Ni/g, prepared with and without brine shrimp. The results of this experiment were used to design an experiment of longer duration in which one of the fish species was selected and exposed to lower dietary Ni doses. In the present study feed refusal was observed in LT and LWF fed 10000 microg Ni/g, after three and 4-5 feedings, respectively. LT fed Ni-contaminated diets exhibited different patterns of Ni accumulation than LWF. Increased Ni concentrations in all LWF tissues, except the intestine, were associated with increased doses of Ni. Copper and Zn concentrations in kidney and liver of LWF were altered. Metallothionein concentrations in kidneys of LT fed 1000 microg Ni/g and 10000 microg Ni/g and LWF fed 10000 microg Ni/g and in livers of LWF fed 10000 microg Ni/g (diet without shrimp only) increased significantly. Increased lipid peroxide production in the plasma of LT fed 10000 microg Ni/g was observed. Blood glucose and electrolytes were affected by Ni exposure. Histopathological alterations were observed in kidneys of LWF fed low and high dose diets, livers of whitefish fed high dose diets, and intestines of LWF fed high dose diets and LT fed low and high dose diets. LT fed high dose diets exhibited significant decreases in weight.
